The Merseysider has not got a perfect record from 12 yards out, however. Although he scored in the 2009 FA Cup semi-final shootout against United, he was denied by Petr Čech in the Toffees' fourth-round tie at Chelsea in 2011. Everton did, however, beat the Blues after Baines struck a late equaliser in extra-time.

The left-back was also denied by Čech in a League Cup match in the same year.
